Rubik's cube

[Vellu]

Rubik's cube has become a trend around here nowadays, I've got one too. The cubes are fun to toy with and solve and I get this urge to solve it again and again. My average time is somewhere under a minute. Anyone else got one? Let's see how many TH users are addicted to this thing!

I got one, plus I got the 17th edition of an early booklet on how to solve the rubiks cube (translated to Dutch)

Not sure if it's the first actually, but it's the solution by Don Taylor.

I have 3 of them at home, but I'm not as addicted as you are. Whenever I have a lot of stress, I'll play with it. Then sleep.

I got one booklet too, but it came with the Rubik's cube package. It basically tells you how to solve it step by step. That method was too slow so I learned the Petrus' method.

You have three cubes and tell you're not as addicted as I am?
I want more cubes too, I've been thinking about a 5x5 cube.

I also have 3, but one of them is a 'Sudokube', which I haven't solved of course

I have multiple Cubes, a Professor, a 360, and a Magic.

Magic is solved in ~1 second.
360 takes fooooorevvvverrrr.
As does the Professor. (~6-9 minutes).
I can solve the Cubes in sub-1-minute.

I wonder how many Rubik's xxxxx there are. The most bizarre I've seen is gearcube.

 

[Sevion]

That's a weird cube lol.

 

[DDRtists]

I used to be into them hardcore, I could do them in a little over a minute. That was a few years back, and I stopped and no longer remember the algorithms and can't do it anymore. I can do the first few layers still though. Lol

 

[tommerbob]

I used to have a Rubik's cube. I wonder where that went....? lol.

I think my record time was about 1:40.

 

[Vellu]

I didn't know there are so many people, who have cube(s) here - COOL!

Spoiler

Geek stat +5 lol

I have 3 sitting on my desk actually. I love em, and I just love the concept, but I haven't done them in so long I forgot. Lol

 

[Bloodcount]

I didn't know anyone still uses these I wonder if there are some "who can solve it the fastest" face-offs ^_^

 

[Vellu]

There are. Here's the official Rubik's cube world association website, with match news. We have some face-offs at school too. My friend can solve it in about 15 seconds. :s

 

[Sevion]

:-/ My most recent time was 1:05:55

I'm rusty.

I once solved it in like 45 seconds. But that was with clock timer (wall clock) so I don't know what the exact time was.

 

[Bloodcount]

Woah, I didn't know this thing was so serious to some people, Sweet !!! I just love competitive communities, and I support them, therefore I support the rubic cube!!!

 

[Sevion]

I'm not serious about it

I got into it in Middle School and people started copying me so I quit >_>

I looked to be unique, not copied D:

Yeah it sucks when you have something cool and only you do it and then people start to copy you. Maybe it's a good thing, but it's not fun.

 

[Jedimindtrixxx]

i used to have one... spent 2 days (approx 12 hours total) on it until i gave up, took it apart, put it together with all the colours matching, and never touched it again and now its lost.

am i a failure?

 

[ElderKingpin]

i did a thread about this a year ago when i first started, im under 20 seconds average now
